The rumors circulating this past weekend about Drake Hogestyn being fired from Day's of Our Lives apparently have some substance according to We Love Soaps. Everybody's favorite soaps blogging site reported this afternoon that Soap Opera Digest spoke to Day's Executive Producer Ken Corday about the situation in an interview set to be published in the next issue of SOD.
What we didn't hear over the weekend initially was that Deidre Hall (Marlena) will also be making an exit along with Hogestyn.
Day's of Our Lives has issued the following statement about the end of the veteran actors who have been such a huge draw for the audience for years:
Days of our Lives has decided to rest the characters of ‘John Black’ and ‘Marlena Evans.’ After a year of separation, ‘John’ and ‘Marlena’ will finally reunite before exiting the canvas in early 2009.”
If you read Internet soaps message boards, you will know that a significant number of vocal fans are seriously upset about the network's decision. Please share your thoughts here but do remember, both Hall and Hogestyn will ultimately be picked up by another show based on their talent and appeal if that is what the actors are seeking. It happens all the time and while NBC stated the characters are just resting, the actors are not necessarily doing the same.
